I still use red hooks. Especially the front treble on cranks, topwaters, etc.

Bo Hawg Rind's ,Choagie chunk( The pork that still had hair on it) And Smithwicks Carrot Top.

Not a fad. They'd catch em. They'd also lose em.

The original ned worm lol

Carrot Stix's are still cool

I miss Fleck's Weedwader spinnerbaits.

The bayou boogie and purple whitetail worm

Came here to say this one. Not necessarily a "fad" per say, but they definitely are not used like they used to be in the 90's even if they did go out of business. Spybaits are the other one. Everyone hopped on that train for a good year and then poof.

Purple white tail was great color why does no one make it anymore?

I think Creme and Mister Twister still offer purple white tail.

They still make the Gene Larew original salt craw, but does anyone ever use them anymore? I thought I had found the greatest bait of all time when they first came out and caught my biggest fish ever on one when Fork first opened. But I haven't bought any in many years. Just too many latest greatest baits lol.

Fads are something that comes and goes rather quickly, I believe Uncle Josh was around for decades.

I remember the first jar of those I bought when I was in High School, I also recal the amount of effort it took to press one on a trailer hook.. I finally took a 1/16 drill bit and drilled pilot holes through the rest in the jar.
